Designed by Hairdressers for Hairdressers!
Akito scissors is a family business founded by hairdressers, John and Katy Allen (husband and wife) and launched in February 2016. Riley Allen (son) has recently joined the business due to it's growth over the last two years.
How it all began: After speaking to many other hairdressers over our career (77 years between us) we realised the lack of knowledge we all had about our main tool, the scissor. The research and learning began in 2006 and we were lucky enough to be introduced to a retired Japanese scissor-smith who taught us the skill of sharpening scissors and the fundamentals of metals used in production and the benefits of the different ergonomic designs.
The Company Goal: To educate and pass on our specialist knowledge to the hairdressing and barbering industry empowering them to make a more informed decision when purchasing scissors and reducing the risks of them developing RSI and carple tunnel problems through the career.
With this in mind we have created a more in depth course, called 'Scissorology', to take into collages and academies to share with the people at the start of their hairdressing journey.
So far Scissorology has been launched in Cuba, India and Spain and this year we plan to launch it in the UK.
Akito scissors donate 5% of profits each year to hairdressing charities.
